Item Description
Sculptural and impressive sphalerite from the famous Elmwood Mine. A striking 7.0 cm, 360-degree "ball" of lustrous, jet-black sphalerite crystals with pleasing rubyjack highlights is artistically accented with matrix sections of sparkly grayish-white dolomite rhombs. The ball is complete all-around and nearly pristine. You barely notice a contact lower on one face of the ball. Classic and excellent large Elmwood sphalerite with dolomite.
